On Sunday past, the local Christian communities from North West Edinburgh gathered on a lovely afternoon of praise and prayer at Silverknowes Prom. It was meteorologically less windy than last year, but we heard the story of the wind of the Spirit in Jerusalem (close to 2,000 years ago leading to the birth of the Christian church), but also what the Spirit is doing in people's lives today. If you missed it in 2024, we plan to repeat it in 2025: Pentecost is 8th…

As Spring comes we struggle for photos for nice pictures once the snowdrops, daffies & crocuses have finished leaving bare earth. So rather than a photo of bare earth, have a pic of some over-wintered leeks harvested today (Sat. 20th) to be handed over tomorrow at the teas & coffees after worship. If you are interested in helping in the garden please speak to one of the leaders about how you can get involved. Many thanks.

Dear all, We have hosted a Christmas party between Christmas and New Year for many years now, to brighten up that gap between the 2 festivals. However, the Storm Gerrit means that we do not feel it is safe for folk to travel to the hall for the event, especially coming out afterwards into the dark with the very gusty wind and rain. We will put a…
